Jane Karp, driver of the St. Johns County Library's bookmobile didn't let a little things like automotive repairs keep her from her appointed rounds.

Earlier this year, the bookmobile was "hospitalized" for repairs, and the repairs, according to library officials, were "extensive" and the job was "far more costly than any budget planning could have imagined."

Karp kept the library lending wheels in motion by packing up the trunk of a county car.

She then drove to her customers, where she set up a card table for her laptop, and it was business as usual for the library lending business.
